Halo 4

(SPOILER ALERT) Just finished playing through the campaign and it is officially the worst halo campaign ever made. I hate to say it, but 343 industries has helped completely ruin what made halo, halo, period. Even before the game came out, there were a few signs such as the dubstep commercials and the "double xp" program with Mountain Dew and Doritos. It makes Halo seem like it has been completely swallowed by a corporation. In this case, Microsoft is that particular corporation. The game itself has been completely changed from being a sci-fi themed shooter to a sci-fi dominated shooter. In the past games, sci-fi was just a basis for the game, but with the latest installment, the game is completely sci-fi fantasy with many things that make no sense at all with very very little explanation. At least in the previous games, modern human elements were employed to make the game somewhat logical. Now, that is completely removed. Take for example the Prometheans and their weapons like the incineration cannon. The disintegration is probaly the worst thing that could have happened to death animations. If completely takes away the amount of realism that was previously integrated into halo games. Without it, Halo just seems sci-fi. Nothing else. The campaign also annoyed me with how irrelevant your allies are in the game. I cannot remember a shooter relying on one person to make miracles more than Halo 4. It's as if allies are non-existant and it is just Master Chief versus the world. This once again plays into the realism element of the gmae. Although previous halo's had the Master Chief pulling out miracles, at least it did not feel like it was a constant theme. I swear, the only time that you even have an ai ally was so minimal that it didn't feel like anyone else was even there. And after that throw i the fact that 343 decided to ditch Cortana. She was shown sooo much in Halo 4that you'd almost expect her to remain in the game. They pretty much overkilled Cortana with the amount of interaction she had in the game. I mean c'mon, after you guys get found out, you gotta have at least a reasonable amount of communication with the others. Pretty low I gotta say. The campaign also did a terrible job at introducing the weapons. I'm not sure if that's only because I was playing normal mode rather than easy, but you were pretty much introduced to the heaviest of weapons, that were usually rare to find (and much more of a joy), almost instantly in the game. The only reason why I felt good about the weapons was that I'd learned about them before the game came out, which I feel gave me a very basic understanding. The promethean weapons, in my opinion, are a disliked addition to the game. They just throw out the nice balance already held between human and Covenant weapons already. It would have been nice to just add a few new human/Covenant weapons, but now with the addition of a new class, everything seems out of order. Man overall, I gotta disagree with gamesradar's rating. This game should get a 7/10 at very very best because f the multiplayer. Everything about the campaign just leaves me with a sick feeling in my mouth. Hopfully Spartan Ops and the multiplayer, wich heavily rely on Call of Duty's style, don't suck as bad.

Honestly, to start things off, you ramble like there is no tomorrow. The Campaign, in my opinion, was pretty well constructed. Its not the best ever, but its by far not the worst. And Clearly, you must be ill advised on the whole Mountain Dew thing. For one, Game Fuel first came out for Halo 3, and been released for every Halo release since then. Although this is the first year they have offered Double XP, Mountain Dew has been an omnipresent partner. So no, it has not been "swallowed" by corporation. The game has also always been pretty Sci-Fi dominated, that is definitely nothing new. 343 Took a series loved by billions, and kept it alive, and they did an amazing job.

Been playing the mess out of this since I picked it up at the Midnight release. Absolutely loving it!

Im going to love campaign, but I'll be honest, its the multiplayer that has me playing Halo for years after its release. I cant wait to dig into that!

SWAT?! That's ALL you're excited for!? Cmoon' deed, it's almost like you just want a CoD game... (Which do have their good points, to be fair.) Wait, a kill cam? Yeah', CoD. xD No, but, really, I do like that idea a LOT!

im only ready for SWAT and there bettttter be a kill cam.
